Study Comparing Cyriax Mobilization and Muscle Energy Techniques for Improving Arm Function in People Recovering From Surgery for Distal Radius (Wrist) Fractures
Sponsor: University of Lahore
Summary
This study aims to compare the effects of Cyriax Mobilization and Muscle Energy Techniques (METs) on functional recovery in patients who have undergone surgical fixation of distal radius fractures. A total of 72 participants between 18 and 40 years old will be randomly assigned to two groups. One group will receive Cyriax Mobilization with conventional therapy, while the other will receive METs with conventional therapy. Treatment will last four weeks with three sessions per week. Researchers will measure grip strength, pain levels, range of motion, and functional ability using standard assessment tools. The goal is to determine which therapy is more effective in improving hand and wrist function after surgery.

Interventions
Cyriax Mobilization
Deep transverse friction massage applied to the wrist and forearm muscles, 3 sessions/week for 4 weeks, along with TENS and hot packs.
Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
Isometric contractions performed against therapist resistance to improve range of motion and reduce pain, 3 sessions/week for 4 weeks.
